Coronavirus updates
Radio-Canada says Tourism Montreal fancies it can make an opportunity of COVID-19 by luring tourists here who may be afraid to travel overseas.
The Quebec health minister gave an update Wednesday which, considering we’ve seen a single case and she’s now home again in quarantine, can’t have been too much of a stretch. Clinics are ready, protocols are in place.
The STM is ramping up its cleaning cycle for the metro.
I saw some tweets where people said they had thought the metro was cleaned every day. My impression was that cleaners do go through every train at the end of the day, clearing out trash and cleaning up any obvious messes, but not usually sanitizing every surface.

Bit like airplanes – fast turnarounds demand superficial cleaning, but forget sanitizing – we share so much (unless we wear gloves)!

According to this article, buses only get “a complete interior clean every 42 days”. And I’m guessing that’s a best case scenario.
